That's just causing more hassle and generating more work than what's actually needed. It's nothing other than players from Saudi Arabia that are causing us problems - and that's not being racist, that's telling the truth. The overload in players from this area cause:

1. Administrators to feel they can't play the game the way they like because of this influx (proven);
2. Other regulars to get put off, resulting in them not playing as often and;
3. An influx of user reports - which again puts stress on the admins
   

I'm confident that developing some Arabic rules in this alphanumeric language that the players seem to speak will help.

Your argument might be that as administrators, this is our job. Correct, our job is to enforce the rules, but that's virtually impossible when the players have no interest in following our English rule set. Hence, producing a set they're capable of reading would seem logical.

I was kinda of expecting the truth bullet from Leon, but Dan is here firing it off anyway.

Fact of the matter is, they cause issues lol. Probably on purpose too, extra lulz and all.

Have a good day.

The only reason I am suggesting this is because of the increase in the number of the Saudi players, ok before it was not that much, but now TC is growing meaning more international players are going to emerge, and from that the Saudis are the only ones ( I think ) who don't know english and they are causing a lot of problems. Even with me. So if we make the rules in their language, we don't have to worry about them causing trouble. In other words, we are making your cruising safer and more entertaining rather then constantly being hit or being disrupted in your chase or even being annoyed from the 'Alien Language' in the public chat.

Nice theory.

Want to know what action will generate the same effect?

IP Range Ban.

To be honest, I completely agree with VT.
They just need to start using GOD DAMN COMMON SENSE, that's it. And apparently they don't have it/are not capable to use it. I believe, that translating those rules will give a jack shit of a result. That's my opinion.

[KooKoo]

Stop with the stupid responses guys.

I don't see any.

You can't just say everyone who doesn't share your opinion is stupid. If only eh.

So what you're saying is that some (perhaps most) arabs are the special needs kid that needs to have their personal space and their own instructor sitting next to them so the other students and teachers don't have to be bothered by their antics?

And that no other larger group of people need this kind of special attention?

Right.

Right.

The words you have written, in the order you have selected.

I agree with VT, it's ridiculous that if we translate rules to them, why won't we translate them to every other language then too? It's like arabs would need special attention just so that they wouldn't go and destroy others experience? Just ban them if they can't behave, that'll do the same job.

[KooKoo]

Tibe they'll still return and, I didn't say you can't translate the rules? If you want then do it, no one's stopping you.

As long as they don't understand the reason they got banned for, they won't learn from the bans.

So simply, ban(s) expire and they return.

What is the problem if we translate the rules for them anyway, It'll just allow more peoples to be in the game of which is KooKoo's suggestion, You didn't read the #1 Post well?

Not easy as you're saying, they use 3G / 4G . in which IP Always change even just by disconnecting / connecting.

Oh well, unless if you wanna ban Saudi Arabia. lol

[[TC-R] Luke]

I'm sorry guys but do you really think an IP range ban is an acceptable measure? If anything that's a racist option (but I believe Arab is not a race itself so that doesn't make much sense). Not ALL arabs are rule breakers or common offenders. It's a ludicrous and selfish option.

Sure arabs are causing issues but suggestions like that are immature and pointless as they will NOT be considered..

I will respect your opinions and so should everybody else, but keep certain opinions private please..

That has hit the nail on the head.

Anyhow, enough borderline-offensive comments have been expressed here by a few people. We're discussing this internally and we hope to be able to facilitate this.

If there are any other Arab-speaking individuals who would like to help, PM one of us. Equally, if there is anyone of any nationality who is interested in potentially helping us with translation, we'd like to know.

Thanks for the suggestion, KooKoo, we'll hopefully be in touch.

An IP range ban for a country would not be racist, since race has no relevance to it. The only thing it would look for is your location in the world and nothing else.
